A flurry of three goals helps Minnesota United to 3-3 draw
An outburst of three goals in a five-minute span produced bedlam at Allianz Field on Saturday, but that elation ended in a familiar bummer feeling in St. Paul. Orlando City led 2-0 before Minnesota United’s trio of Marcus Caldeira, Anthony Markanich and Kelvin Yeboah each scored from the 71st to the 76th minutes of a wild 3-3 draw.

Allianz Field witnessed bedlam on Saturday as Minnesota United's trio of goals in a five-minute span sent the crowd into a frenzy. However, the celebration was short-lived as Orlando City pulled off a 3-3 draw. Marcus Caldeira, Anthony Markanich, and Kelvin Yeboah each scored for Minnesota between the 71st and 76th minutes, bringing them to within a point of the top seed in the MLS standings.
Nevertheless, Tyrese Spicer's equalizer in the 93rd minute dashed Minnesota's hopes. The Loons, who had not won at home since April, now remain winless at Allianz Field this season. Orlando, on the other hand, remains in contention for an MLS Cup Playoff spot with 25 points, matching Minnesota's tally. Yeboah's go-ahead goal came on a scissor kick with less than 15 minutes remaining, marking his third goal in two games.
The match began with a goal conceded by Minnesota, leading 1-0, before Orlando took a 2-0 lead. Daryl Dike, who recently joined the team from West Bromwich Albion, scored the opening goal in the 28th minute after colliding with goalkeeper Drake Callender. Callender was injured in the play and required medical attention as fans protested the referee's decision to allow play to continue.
